We woke up this morning with a big FIVE year old!!! It feels like just yesterday that we were brining this sweet boy home from the hospital, it’s not fair how fast time goes. I love watching you grow and thrive, you are the best big brother and the sweetest friend, you never cease to amaze me! Luke you are all things good in this world. We love you endlessly!!!
